I think it's a well done painting though the red is a bit much as is the butterfly.

Also dont really get the King Crimson reference..................or definition of a 'crimson king'. I was under the impression it was created by Stephen King for his novels especially the Dark Tower series.

Also as to King Crimson it is supposed to refer to Beelzebub-(Arabic 'B'il A Sabab.) ...man with an aim. From the writings of G I Gurdjieff (Beelzebub Tales To His Grandson) who Fripp liked.

Is everyone overthinking this beacuse it is a red painting ?

We have been living in a fantasy since the beginning of time I think. A fantasy born of greed and power over other men. There will always be kings and queens, angels and demons. Enlightenment is good but the price is becoming an outsider… My little philosophy anyway.

That portrait suits him and his failed “great reset”. He has forsaken his culture for a New world order controlled by more powerful “Kings” and their new technologies created to monitor and control. Those Kings have the rest of the Western world underfoot as well. China and Russia and BRICS nations have other plans. They Consider the NATO alliance demonic. Can’t blame em.

Hi,

I think the whole thing is just "entertainment" as it has been for hundreds of years ... and of course, it is the number one show that makes it very clear who the ruling class really is, and what you are paying for.

The sad thing is Charles becoming another Henry jerk (the Falstaff story), and losing all of his sense of humor and smile ... and on top of it, playing a very dangerous game on his sons. In the old days, Harry would probably already be dead ... but Charles got away with one already, and won't get away with 2.

Weird that he was one of the folks at the BBC audiences for many Goon Shows ... and he obviously has forgotten all the laughs and the satires on his government ... the sentiment for the Goons was always .... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz .... (and fall over) ... or ... speak slowly and loose the words (90 years old!) ... or worse ... "I resign!!!" and runs away .... and now he gets to preside over the biggest fake show on earth ... gotta show off all their jewelry and riches to make sure everyone knows who is the rich and who is the rest!

And I sincerely doubt William will make a good king ... you can not go into that chair/job with so much hatred and dislikes, and worse ... lies. Keep the fake show alive!

Totally agree... And where is Kate BTW?

Hi,

Probably hidden until her hair grows out a bit more ... from the radiation therapy that tends to make folks lose their hair some ... not all of it as a family member only lost a bit ... but Kate's flowing locks probably will only be seen as a wig, or extension ... which, OF COURSE, will be hidden.

In the current setup, the women will all be second class, so to speak ... the lack of respect for many of the ladies in their family is downright sick, and pathetic. It's a good thing that they don't cut off heads anymore, but I am not liking how a lot of them are being treated, along with various other folks within the family ... they should all grow up and get rid of ideas/thoughts and hatreds that go back hundreds of years ... but hell ... it's the best TV show, and the media makes sure it is all wonderful ... and no one seems to realize who owns that media!
